Destined for an Early Grave

Destined for an Early Grave (2009) Jeaniene Frost

Cat is no longer working for the government slaying rogue vampires. She and Bones are off to Paris for a well-deserved vacation. Unfortunately, Cat remains the only living half-vampire, and her unique position remains a threat to the undead.

Although the initial story seems to have come from out of left field, the book is actually a culmination of the story arc of the first three books. The series probably won’t end here, there are still unanswered questions, but it was a nice conclusion to the arc that started in the first book.

Did I enjoy the book? Yes. I have to admit that initially I was annoyed at the turn the story was taking, especially the powers of the Dreamhunter. But as I said, the story broadened to include the questions that have remained unasked since the first book. I won’t actually tell you what those questions are, since they hadn’t really occurred to me, but they may well have occurred to other readers. And they were important questions.

If you have not read a previous Night Huntress novel, this is not the place to start. You’ll want to go back to the first book and follow the story forward. But if you like supernatural stories, and don’t mind boinking, it will be worth your time to go back and start at the beginning.
Rating: 8/10
